Richardson says Oklahoma could play key role in presidential primary
Mar 18, 2007


OKLAHOMA CITY New Mexico Governor and Democratic presidential hopeful Bill Richardson pays a visit to the Sooner State today.

At a private fundraiser in Oklahoma City, Richardson said Oklahoma will play a key role in determining the Democratic nominee in 2008 because of the state's early February primary.

Wearing cowboy boots with his blazer and tie, the 59-year-old Richardson touted his political and foreign policy experience.

Born in California and raised in Mexico City before attending high school and college in the United States, Richardson previously served as a congressman and as ambassador to the United Nations and Secretary of Energy under former President Bill Clinton.

He criticized what he said was the federal government's failure to address the issue of illegal immigration.

He said he would focus on increasing border security, improving relations with Mexico and punishing employers who hire illegal immigrants.

He also says he supports some path to legalization for the millions of illegals already living in the United States.

It's either Carrot or Stick---NOT BOTH! Typical flip-flop political election day rhetoric......neither hot nor cold...ALIPAC spits you out!

He can take his cowboy boots and hike right on out of my state, he is a joke, he would be worse then bush, if you can believe that, yuck, why did he have to come here and muck up my state for? Get on back to New Mexico, Bill, you ain't welcome here.

Sorry Richardson, not the right words we were looking for!! YOU LOSE!!!
